Last week someone in our church gave me a wood cookstove in exchange for the wood stove at our house. I have always wanted a cookstove but thought there was no way I'd ever get one ... but, here it is. I am thankful. I thought it would be somewhat difficult to learn how to cook on it, however that has not been the case. At first I was really afraid to have the oven or stove top too hot, so I made the opposite mistake of having it too cold and things took a lot longer to cook than they should have. Gradually I learned how to regulate and control the temperature. Besides the obvious of being prepared with the fire ahead of time for baking (which could sometimes take an hour or so), it is not much different than a 'normal' stove. A benefit is that I can have several pots on the stove at one time - even my big 4 gallon pots.
Here are a few pictures, more for my sake than anyone else ... this blog has been a great journal for me!
